Emily Larson considered lots of requests for her first proclamation as Duluth’s mayor, but she chose one: to recognize January as Duluth Trafficking Awareness Month during a fourth annual gathering at Trepanier Hall downtown.“I’ve attended every year,” said Larson, who was sworn in as mayor on Monday. “I feel it’s important for us as a community to name this issue — sexual exploitation, human trafficking, sex trafficking. These are the realities facing our beautiful children.”
